Abstract

A medium-dense genetic linkage map of Lentinula edodes (shiitake) was constructed based on 203 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers and two mating type factors. The segregation of these markers was generated from 95 progeny of a single cross of two distantly related strains. The map consists of 11 linkage groups comprised of eight large (over 100 centimorgans (cM)) and three small (less than 100 cM) groups, and the total genetic distance of the map was 1956.7 cM. The average rate of physical size to genetic distance could be roughly estimated to be less than 18.4 kb cM−1, which is low compared to the values obtained for other filamentous fungi. Seventeen of the AFLP markers showed highly distorted segregation ratios (χ2 values >6.63; P<0.01), and many of these were mapped in LG II (6 markers) and IV (6 markers).
